##### Highlights

###### Slack as a Chat Channel

- Slack moves out of "coming soon": configure a Bot Token and App-Level Token in Settings → Channels, test the connection, pick a model, and manage which Slack users are authorized to talk to your agent.

###### Claude and Codex Now Run Your Own Install

- AionUi used to ship its own pinned copies of claude and codex, so the same prompt could behave differently in AionUi than in your terminal — invisibly. Both now run the install you already have, the same way Antigravity always has, and AionUi tells you when your version differs from the one this release was verified against.

###### Source Control Panel, Round Two

- The panel is restructured into collapsible sections with drag-to-resize dividers and double-click-to-reset, closely following the VS Code sidebar.
- The Changes section gains a tree / list view toggle.
- Repositories are now discovered one level down from your workspace roots, so multi-repo projects are picked up without manual setup.

###### Copy Path from the Explorer

- Right-click any file or folder in the project Explorer to copy its relative path, or (on desktop) its absolute path.

###### Bug Fixes

- Fixed a full white screen on packaged desktop builds, the WebUI toggle, and the web build — caused by a bad vendor-chunk split.
- On narrow windows, clicking a file in a project conversation's tree now actually opens the preview.
- Right-clicking a folder and choosing "Add to chat" now produces a chip and actually sends the folder to the agent, instead of just showing a success toast.
- The copy button on an AI reply now copies the whole turn. Replies interleaved with tool calls or thinking previously lost everything before the last text segment.
- Relative-path images in project markdown previews no longer render broken.
- Browsing skill files now works in WebUI, not just on desktop.
- Antigravity shows up in the assistant editor's Agent dropdown again, and its Agent field shows the name instead of a raw id.
- A file-watch subscription that failed (offline, or a socket closing right after reconnect) is now retried, instead of silently leaving that folder stale forever.

###### Engine updates (AionCore v0.1.62 → v0.1.63)

- Agents running background work — a workflow, a background shell, a background subagent — are no longer killed by the idle scanner while still mid-flight.
- Agents now receive the real-case absolute path of your project instead of a case-folded one.

###### Note

- The one-time migration of fork-era theme settings has been removed. Themes created before the current theme system are no longer carried over automatically.
